Hello. I'm trying to come up with a keyboard mapping that would allow me to easily input custom characters, like curly quotes, en/em dashes, ellipsis, etc. under GNOME 2.6.
After a bit of research[1] I know I can either use xmodmap (and then force GNOME 2.6 to run it with some kind of a script) or the compose key. I'd like to try the compose key route first, as it seems all of the required mappings are already defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose; unfortunately, I can't find a way to make X use these mappings instead of the ones in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-2/Compose. Is this a bug in xkb/some other package? I'm using the pl_PL.UTF-8 locale, and I tried[2] changing the XkbLayout option in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 from "pl" to "pl_PL.UTF-8", but no matter what I do, X still choose to use wrong Compose mapping file.
